A
woman who died following a three-vehicle wreck Monday in north Forsyth has been
identified by authorities as 42-year-old Emily Osborn of Cumming.

A
man also suffered minor injuries following the incident, which occurred around
noon on Dahlonega Highway (Hwy. 9 north) at Punch Hammond Road.

According
to a news release from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, investigators
determined that a 2000 Honda Odyssey was northbound on Dahlonega Highway about
to turn left on Punch Hammond Road when it was struck in the left rear side by
a 2008 Freightliner moving truck going northbound on Dahlonega Highway.

After
hitting the Odyssey, the Freightliner went into the southbound lane of
Dahlonega Highway, striking a southbound 2004 Toyota Camry on the driver’s side
driven by Osborn, who died at the scene.

The
driver of the 2000 Honda Odyssey was Pedro Rolon, 61, of Cumming.

The
driver of the Freightliner was James Lumpkin, 41, of Cumming, and in the
passenger seat was Troy Lester, 22, of Cumming. Lester was transported to an
area hospital with minor injuries.

“The driver of the truck was uninjured and the
passenger of the truck had minor injuries. He was walking wounded and was
transported with those injuries,” said Forsyth County Fire Department Division
Chief Jason Shivers. “Unfortunately, the driver of the sedan died [on scene.]”

The
driver of the third vehicle, a van, was not injured.

The
Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Specialist Unit worked the scene, which
closed Hwy. 9 north of Keith Bridge Road (Hwy. 306) for several hours Monday.

Deputies
will release the cause of the accident and any additional information pending
the outcome of TSU’s investigation.

TSU
works serious and fatal crashes, and this marks the county’s 13th
fatal wreck so far this year.

According
to the Georgia Department of Transportation, as of Nov. 28, the state had
recorded 1,379 roadway fatalities in 2017.
